    Volt
    Unit of electrical pressure which causes current to flow. Voltage is a measure of the rate at which electricity is moving. Calculation: Voltage = Current (Amps) x Resistance (Ohms). One volt drives a current of one amp through a resistance of one ohm. Current in a wire is driven by voltage in roughly the same way that water in your pipes is driven ...
